由於近年來登革熱災情頻繁，希望能以本文中提出的天溝清潔機器人來掃除天溝中的髒汙，避免天溝淪為蚊蟲孳生的病原地。天溝本身狹窄，故機器人需要克服整體尺寸的問題並提供足夠的清潔能力。
考量到天溝內的髒汙可能帶有病原，清掃下來的髒汙必須收集起來，避免清潔的過程中造成傳染的狀況，所以在有限的體積內必須容納裝載此髒汙的空間。
機器人使用dsPIC30F4011 作為控制晶片於控制馬達與清潔扇葉的運行；並使用藍芽晶片HC05 搭配簡易製作的APP 來進行控制。
清潔方面，搭配Camera 來觀察是否已將天溝清潔乾淨。

Recently, the diseases caused by mosquitoes like dengue fever slam the world.
Therefore, developing a gutter cleaning robot to clean the gutters and keep the gutters from becoming breeding grounds of mosquitoes is presented in the thesis. The gutters are very narrow, so the robot has to overcome the problem of size and can still clean the gutters.
Considering the dirt in the gutters may have the sources of the diseases, the dirt which is cleaned out of the gutters must be collected to avoid spreading the diseases during the cleaning. So, the robot must have the space for the dirt while the size of itself is limited.
The robot controls the motors of the wheels and the cleaning fins with dsPIC30F4011 chip. The robot connects with the APP in the cellphone with HC-05 bluetooth chip, and the user can control the robot with the cellphone.
Also, the user can see the situation of the gutter with a screen connected with the wireless FPV video transmitter which is connected with a camera while cleaning.
